Done with week 3 of my mystery quilt along! @toadandsew.bsky.social #quilt

Your lines are so straight! Do you use a domestic or long arm machine?

Welcome to class. What a privilege to be your teacher today. I know we bring diverse work experience — some of us are quilters, others studied ready-to-wear, but today we are all going to learn to make bias tape.

So tiny!!! I’m making the next step of the mystery quilt along I’m participating in!

Thanks @katdelaunay.bsky.social! I’m super pumped!

Stacks of cut out fabric for the mystery quilt along by Toad and Sew!

I’m participating in @toadandsew.bsky.social’s mystery quilt along. I have my fabric selected and all cut up. I have no idea what the pattern will be, but I’m excited!

Affordable child care is essential for a thriving economy – it removes barriers for parents entering the workforce and makes life easier for families.
 
I just announced new grants that will create 1,400 new child care slots across the state.

This is impressive! So cute too!

Little hexies, needles, hand quilting thread.

It’s such a relaxing easy quilting method to start and stop and bring all around! I have a little carrying pencil case that I can easily throw in my bag or backpack :)

Years ago, ACT UP protested at hospitals cutting off LGBTQ+ people from their care.

They didn't stand for it.

Life Thought Nugget: your day isn’t over at the end of your work day. The best parts of your day (and life) most likely happen after you leave work.

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs.

They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens.

Straight binding, machine and then finish with hand, unless it’s a baby quilt, then all machine.

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

Outlines!

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

Thank you for your service to our country!

I work in the grants world for my job. This isn’t just impacting higher ed. This is impacting every single community in our state.

On a happier note, I’m excited to pick out fabrics for the mystery quilt sew along by @toadandsew.bsky.social ! #mqsal #quiltsky

Throw back to my 1st quilt in 2019, when my spouse and I decided to journey down the path to parenthood. This quilt was made for baby Rowan, who was stillborn on May 4, 2020 at 18.5 weeks gestation.

Quilting became my way to process grief, from the loss of Rowan and two more miscarriages.

We love Bear at our house - Bear Snores On is a fav. This is so fun!

Hi everyone! I’m the potter behind Étincelle Céramique, a small business centered around making ceramics that convey love and kinship through quilt designs. Because there’s no love like handmade love!

I hope I get to chat with lots of you on here! ✨💛

Hand with a dragonfly tattoo on the inner wrist holds a turquoise quilt star patterned Oliso iron, over a red Savers shopping cart at the thrift store.

Screenshot that shows the price of the same iron new… $199!

I am now at that stage in my life where finding a “Jenny Missouri Star Quilt Company” branded Oliso iron at a thrift store for $9.49 is the most exciting thing. Because, it *WAS SUCH A GOOD DEAL!* This iron is like $199 new!
